| let your freak flag fly | не скрывай свою эксцентричность, своё несоответствие общепринятым взглядам (шаблонам; It means not to hide your eccentricity, your nonconformity. The expression comes from the hippie era in American culture, in the late 1960s, when men [and women] in the hippie "counterculture" wore their hair long. The hippies sometimes humorously referred to themselves as "freaks," because they saw themselves as very different from mainstream culture. The long hair or unusual clothing would be the metaphorical "freak flag." – Stephen Hsieh Oleksandr Spirin) |
